The Remembrancer: A Tragedy in One Act
5 1/8 x 4 3/8 inches
8 signatures of 2 sheets (32 pages)
brown paper grocery bags Coptic bound with hemp twine

This one is kind of small, both in dimensions and length. It’s also nearly square, which will probably make me cry before I finish it. Too bad I got gesso on the binding, because it actually turned out pretty well. It’s nice and even, without being too tight. That’s not so easy to accomplish with rough hemp, because the twin itself is knobbly, with thick and thin bits. I’ll try to clean up the gesso splotches and get decent close-ups of the stitching tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll decide it doesn’t matter.
